Wei Lan did not come empty-handed this time but brought two longevity locks. It was the first time he bought something for his newborn baby. He didn’t know what to buy, so he had to ask Wei Xun. Wei Xun himself had never given a gift to a child, so he could only answer based on his only impression, “Or give him a longevity lock.”
Wei Lan got the answer he wanted and went around the mall. Originally, he only planned to buy a gift for Yan Qingchi’s newborn baby, but when he was buying it, he thought of Qi Qi, so he bought one for Qi Qi as well.
After all, he was a spoiled young master. It was his first time buying a gift for a child. He didn’t know anything about it, so he just looked at the style and chose the most expensive one.
Yan Qingchi looked at the jasper in his hand, which had no trace of impurities and was white with jade in the middle and thought that it was probably not cheap.
Qi Qi had long passed the age of wearing a longevity lock, so among the various gifts he received, no one gave him this one. Therefore, Qi Qi felt a little strange, “What is this?”
“It’s a longevity lock.” Wei Lan took it out and put it on his neck, “Wearing it, you can live to be a hundred years old.”
“One hundred years old?” Qi Qi looked at him with wide eyes, “So awesome.”
Wei Lan pinched his face and said softly: “That’s right.”
Qi Qi lowered his head and looked at the jade on his neck, feeling a little happy, “Thank you, brother.”
“You’re welcome.”
Wei Lan put it on for him, and then put another longevity lock on the child Jiang Zhiyan. Yan Yan still opened his big black grape-like eyes, looking innocently at them.
Qi Qi looked at the lock on his neck, then at Yan Yan, and finally turned to look at Wei Lan, “I have the same lock as my brother.”
“Yes, you are brothers.” Wei Lan touched his head.
Qi Qi said obediently, “Then I’ll thank you for my brother.”
Wei Lan’s heart melted at the sound of his brother calling him, and he couldn’t help pinching his face, feeling that he wanted to raise a child again.
When Qi Qi went to school the next day, he couldn’t wait to show the longevity lock around his neck to his friend Bo Yan and ask him, “Does it look good?”
Bo Yan nodded, “It looks good.”
“Brother Wei Lan gave it to me, he said I can live to be a hundred years old if I wear it.” Qi Qi treasured it and stuffed it back into his collar.
“Who is brother Wei Lan?” Bo Yan asked him.
“My father’s friend.”
“Then you should call him uncle.” Bo Yan corrected.
Qi Qi frowned, “But my brother told me to call him brother.”
When Bo Yan heard what he said, he remembered the “sisters” he had seen who asked him to call him sister despite being aunties, so he didn’t correct him.
“Then you listen to him.”
Qi Qi said “hmm”, leaned closer to him, and whispered, “Yan Yan, we have a baby at home, do you want to go see it?”
Bo Yan was a little surprised, “What? A baby was summoned?”
“There is just an extra baby.” Qi Qi blinked.
“Are you going to stay at your house from now on?”
Qi Qi nodded, “Yes, he’s my brother.”
Bo Yan heard what he said and looked at his smiling eyes. He just felt that he was really stupid. Now there was a second child at home, but he didn’t worry about being ignored, instead he still laughed.
He was more mature mentally than Qi Qi, and due to the influence of his family environment, he was also more thoughtful than Qi Qi. He had seen it on TV. Some families started to treat the first child badly when they had a second child. Especially among the two fathers of Qi Qi, at most only one was his biological father.
“Can I go see it? Does your father agree?” he asked Qi Qi.
Qi Qi nodded, “Okay, I told my dad and he said it’s okay.”
“Then I’ll ask my dad to pick me up later, and I’ll go to your house with you to see the baby after school.”
Qi Qi nodded, and then he suddenly laughed again, “Yan Yan, Yan Yan, Yan Yan, Yan Yan, it seems.”
Bo Yan was very smart, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood his meaningless sentence, “Your brother’s name is Yan Yan.” “
“Well, his name is Jiang Zhiyan.”
“It’s very similar to your name.”
“Yes,” Qi Qi answered him naturally, “because he is my younger brother.”
After school in the afternoon, when Yan Qingchi came to pick up Qi Qi, he saw Bo Yan and Qi Qi coming to the car hand in hand. Qi Qi looked up at him, “Dad, Yan Yan wants to go home with me to see Xiao Yan.”
Yan Qingchi nodded, yesterday evening, Qi Qi had asked him if Yan Yan could come over to see the baby. His child’s character was such that when his father’s friend came to see the baby, he also wanted his little friend to come.
Of course Yan Qingchi would not object and readily agreed.
Therefore, when he heard what he said, he just smiled, opened the car door, and said warmly: “Of course, you will all be his brothers from now on.”
Bo Yan politely said thank you to Yan Qingchi and got on the car together with Qi Qi.
Bo Yan had called Bo Feng before and told him that he was going to Qi Qi’s house today and asked Bo Feng to pick him up at Qi Qi’s house later. Although Bo Feng and Jiang Mochen had only met a few times, he had a good impression of him, so he agreed without saying much. He just asked him to get in the Jiang family’s car and ask the adults in the car to call him.
Bo Yan got in the car, remembered his father’s words, handed the phone to Yan Qingchi, and said, “Uncle, my father said you give him a call after he lets me get in the car.”
Yan Qingchi asked Bo Yan to help dial and after the call was connected, he said, “Hello, I’m Yan Qingchi, Qi Qi’s father.”
Bo Feng was impressed by him and felt relieved knowing that he was by Bo Yan’s side. The two exchanged pleasantries, and Bo Feng said that he might go there later and hoped that Yan Qingchi wouldn’t mind.
Of course Yan Qingchi wouldn’t mind. He liked children very much, and Qi Qi and Bo Yan were good friends. Not to mention that Bo Feng would come to pick him up later, it was okay for Bo Yan to stay at his home for one night today as well. When Bo Feng heard what he said, he smiled and said that was not necessary, it would just be a little later. After talking to Yan Qingchi, he said a few more words to Bo Yan, then hung up the phone and went to work.
Mother Jiang would visit the child regularly these days, and was a little surprised to see Qi Qi bring his little friend back.
Qi Qi introduced to her, “This is Yan Yan, my good friend.”
Then he turned to Bo Yan and said, “This is grandma.”
Bo Yan immediately said, “Hello, grandma.”
Mother Jiang just liked children at this age, so seeing that Bo Yan was good-looking and polite, she smiled and responded to him, “It’s good to see you too.”
Qi Qi pulled Bo Yan, pointed at the child Jiang Zhiyan in Mother Jiang’s arms, and said, “This is the baby, isn’t it so little?”
It was also the first time that Bo Yan saw such a small child. So, he couldn’t help but say, “It’s really small.”
“So it’s a baby.”
He pulled Bo Yan closer to Mother Jiang, looked at the child Jiang Zhiyan in his arms who was looking at them curiously, and smiled with his eyes bent. The child Jiang Zhiyan looked at him and suddenly started smiling too.
Qi Qi was surprised and looked at Mother Jiang in surprise, “He smiled.”
“Yes.” Mother Jiang looked at him, “He likes you and is happy to see you, so he smiled.”
Qi Qi heard her say this, stretched out his hand to touch Yan Yan, lowered his head and kissed him, and said softly, “I like you too.”
Mother Jiang looked at him with tender eyes.
Bo Yan came to the Jiang family with a question, so after eating, he went to Yan Qingchi and asked him, “Uncle, can I ask you a few questions?”
The last time he and Yan Qingchi had an unexpected meeting and chatted for a while, he felt very good about Yan Qingchi, liked him very much, and unconsciously trusted him a little.
Yan Qingchi didn’t expect that he would come to talk to him specifically, and he even closed the door carefully. He felt that his behavior was a little adult-like, so he put down his pen and said gently: “Of course, what do you want to ask uncle??”
Bo Yan approached him and asked him doubtfully, “Is Qi Qi bad? Why do you want another baby?”
Yan Qingchi responded to the question he raised but the tone in which he asked this made him a little surprised.
He didn’t expect Bo Yan to ask this, let alone that a child as young as him could ask him such a calm and serious question. ——He did not ask Qi Qi about this question, nor did he feel dissatisfied with himself and Jiang Mochen because of this question. Instead, he asked him seriously and waited quietly for him to explain it to him.
Yan Qingchi felt that he was really a child who was calmer and more rational than his peers.
He pulled Bo Yan to sit down with him on the sofa, put his arms around him, and said softly, “There is nothing wrong with Qi Qi, he is very good, and his father and I also like him very much. As for why we need another little baby…”
He looked at Bo Yan and asked him, “Do you think Qi Qi is good? Do you like him?”
Bo Yan nodded, “Yes.”
“Then if Qi Qi can be your brother and can accompany you every day. Will you be happy to play together?”
“Of course but Qi Qi is younger than me, so I will be his older brother.”
“So,” Yan Qingchi looked at him, “it’s not because he is bad that we had another baby, but to have someone who likes him to play with.”
He looked at Bo Yan, “Just like you want to be his brother, the baby also wants to be his brother. Qi Qi is so cute, of course everyone likes him.”
Bo Yan agreed with what Yan Qingchi said, “Qi Qi is so cute, everyone naturally likes him.” After all, that’s what he felt. He was just worried, “Then you and Uncle Jiang, will you like him as before?”
“Of course we will. Not only will we like him as before, but the baby will also like him. Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more person like him?”
Bo Yan thought for a while, and it seemed that was right, so he nodded, “It seems like that.”
Yan Qingchi smiled and said softly: “Yan Yan, just like you kids have to go to school, Uncle Jiang and I also have to go to work, and we will be very busy at work. Sometimes we may not have that much time to spend with Qi Qi, so won’t Qi Qi feel lonely at home alone?”
Bo Yan nodded. He was often at home alone, so he knew that feeling.
“Of course, Qi Qi can also go to his grandparents’ house, but wouldn’t it be better if he has a playmate who is about the same age as him? Like you, he can play games and talk with him, wouldn’t it be nice too?”
“I can do that.” Bo Yan said, “I can play games and talk with him.”
“But after school, you will go home, Qi Qi will go home too, and you won’t be with him anymore.”
Bo Yan frowned worriedly.
“So, if you have a little baby, you can play with him at home.”
